<WBR>Les<br> <br> One more suggestion. You might need to reglue to damper felt to the head to get the wire to go straight up and down.<br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Wim<br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Jon Page <jonpage@comcast.net><br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Mon, 4 Aug 2008 6:22 pm<br> Subject: /Steinway B<br> <br> </div> <div id=AOLMsgPart_0_6bed6767-9e76-47a2-a88d-588a20f6776b style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff">My guess at to why the felt is wearing on one side is the side-bearing <br> induced at the factory and perhaps a rough, oxidized wire. <br>  <br> Clean and polish the wire and adjust the bends so that the wire travels <br> straight in the bushing and not bearing on a side. <br>  <br> Once the wire travels without friction, in the bushing and in the top flange; <br> adjust the head over the center of the unison and check its proximity to <br> the plate. You may end up trimming some of the head. Make certain <br> that the 90 degree wire bend above the strings is at a suitable angle. <br> --  <br> Regards, <br>  <br> Jon Page <br> </div> <div id='u8CAC4D789039CFD-4E8-3349' class='aol_ad_footer'><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">It's time to go back to school!
